I don't think there is much of a market for neon keytars.

Or just not steal at all? Even if the bands suck they don't deserve to have their equipment stolen. No one does.

Secure. Your. Shit.

Theft and robbery aren't the same thing.

That being said, it sucks that people steal.

Victim blaming is cool.

Also, while this totally blows it isn't really a robbery.

the guy actually makes a good point. a store manager would never leave the deposit bag sitting around, why should a tour manager? sounds like a real dumbass to me.

i can't speak for all of the details but things like money (unless cash was paid that night of a show) should be deposited the very next day in the bands bank account. Or the money should never leave sight of someone. it should be in a bang bag on someone or if in a hotel brought into the hotel and stored away for safe keeping. I know it sucks this shit happens but even if your pre-cautious, you have to take it to the extreme.

Bands need to secure their shit more. This fucking sucks.

haha, I wish brother, It'd love to quit my day job and live the american dream touring the country playing music or working for bands but its something i wish i would have gotten into at a younger age before a serious relationship and college and all that real life stuff.

Attention Bands: SKIP PA WHEN BOOKING YOUR TOURS

I just think that if anyone is going to be criticized it should be the scumbags that took the bag, not the the victims of the crime.

I am pretty sure they are referring to Friday's show at Crocodile Rock in Allentown, PA. I've heard that it was someone that works at the venue, which makes the situation even worse. I know the people there are not good to work with, but you don't steal from the band.

Damn. Well that fucking sucks. Slightly careless but... Assholes.
